How often should I rewax?

Rewax “as needed”… helpful, right? Lemme try again. You only need enough wax to hold everything together, so it won’t be a daily thing. To check, palmroll a dry dread – does it hold together fine? Then you don’t need to add any more wax. If it’s frizzy and falling apart, it’s time to add more. Remember: less is more, and a little goes a long way.

After 3-6 months, you'll switch over to Tightening Gel for your main maintenance product. You can still use the wax very sparingly to keep your more mature locks nice and soft and to tame any fuzzies.
